Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

What's your latest aquisition?


Here's my latest purchase, a Tri-ang-Hornby R.754 M7 in BR Black livery.

The box was tatty, crew were missing and the BR totem transfers on the tank sides were part missing as per normal.

The model is slowly being restored, a fresh box mint was found on ebay with incorrect labels (the one on the right) and I have crew and original totem transfers a plenty in stock, I will post stages of the restoration at intervals for all my friends on here to see as they take place.

Here's the loco pre-restoration but with nice new original 40+ BR Totem transfers put on the side tanks, a packet of the original transfers is posed by the loco for reference.

Hope all at Hornby like what I am doing to their old locos.


Enjoy!

Just watch out that the large light at the end of the tunnel is not another train comming the other way!

Best wishes

Just had an email to say something else I pre-ordered is on its way!  Do you think there is any chance of the Chinese workers having a one month strike?

If you dream it, you can do it.

I got some foam underlay for my track it really does reduce the noise. It looks good too.

I'd rather hope that one of the main manufacturers would make a 4Sub or a 4EPB, surely you could find room for one (or more) of these?

Of course! And a 4-cor...
